New Job

I have taken a position as an Environmental Education instructor on Jekyll Island. It's a Coastal Barrier Island about 12 hrs from here and to those who know how I feel about Assateague it's an awesome opportunity to live and work in a similar situation. It seems like it's going to be a really cool place and I am looking forward to being there. I'll be teaching EE to mostly 4th-8th graders with some other age groups thrown in from time to time. The classes are mainly outdoor classes on the geography, flora, fauna, and natural processes of the island as well as current environmental issues. They provide me room and board with a nice salary so I am well compensated. I leave on October 30th to start so it's not to long now.

Unfortunately, they don't allow pets and I am not sure what I am going to do with my cat while I am gone. He is not making it any easier by being more cute and clinging than usual. Hopefully my brother will take him again although he already has a cat so I am not sure about that option either.

Working girl

So I am currently looking for a new job. I hate the process of job searching. I hate trying to sell myself, filling out applications, and writing cover letters. All for them to say "While we were impressed with your resume we have found someone better suited to the position." It's crap because if they were so impressed with me they would have hired me. But they didn't and I am still unemployed. Which sucks because I need the money and the boredom is killing me. Why can't a job just fall into my lap without me having to do anything? In a perfect world places would be knocking my door down to hire ME

First time

I just put this up recently. I tried to have an online page before but it didn't exactly work out. Hopefully this one will be better. I plan on making it work.

Apple Butter Festival

I've been feeling really bad lately. I have got an awesome cold and sore throat. I get sick every year except for last year because of being in nice, warm TX. So this is a nice welcome back to the land of real winter, Jennifer! HAHAHAHA!!!! (That was supposed to be winter or WV talking) I hate it. I only surface out of my drug induced sleep to eat and occasionally pet the cat who seems to think that laying on my face and purring is the way I will feel better. I hate getting sick because for me it usually ends in bronchitis or pneumonia because I am stubborn when it comes to doctors. You go and waste all your money for them to say take some over the counter stuff you'll be fine but then when I don't go it ends in the worse way with me severely sick and usually in need of antibiotics.

Also, this weekend is the Apple Butter Festival. It sounds dumb I know but its a whole big event centered around the making of Apple Butter- it's a craft show, carnival, parade, and party in one. It's a lot of fun and I usually go every year dragging my friends from "the city" down who can't get enough of the small town quaintness. There's almost always some sort of partying going on as well. Last year was the best year ever with all my very best friends at a kick ass party that lasted well into the night, riding my nephews crotch rocket, and my friends buying out the patrons in wine, apple butter, and other nifty items. This year I am sick, most of my friends are away or not talking to one another and the majority of us are broke. I still think I will have a good time if I can rally myself into it but nothing will compare to the ultimateness that was last year.
